	Cornice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In classical architecture the cornice is the set of projecting moldings that crown an entablature along the top edge of a temple or building.
		The cornice is carried horizontally across the entablature, at the same height as the roof eaves.
		The term "cornice," by extension, is also applied to any horizontal ornamental molding which crowns any building or furniture element: the cornice over a door or window, for instance, or the cornice around the edge of a pedestal.

		cornice), in architecture, the projection at the top of a wall, which is provided to throw off the rain water from the roof, beyond the face of the building.
		As employed in classic architecture it forms the upper part of the entablature of an order, and is there subdivided into bed mould, corona and cymatium.
		The term is also ger..erally applied to any moulding projection which crowns the feature to which it is attached; thus doors and windows, internally as well as externally, have each their cornice, and the same applies to pieces of furniture (see also Masonry).

	Frieze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In architecture the frieze is the wide central section part of an entablature and may be plain or — in the Ionic or Corinthian order — decorated with bas-reliefs.
		In an astylar wall it lies upon the architrave ('main beam') and is capped by the moldings of the cornice.
		In an example of an architectural frieze on the facade of a building, the octagonal Tower of the Winds in the Roman agora at Athens bears bas-relief sculptures of the eight winds on its frieze.

		The cornice itself is supported by steel trusses, which are in turn attached to the structural steel frame of the building.
		The galvanized steel facing of the cornice was generally in good condition, but about 30 lineal feet (roughly 10 percent) of the steel at the base of the cornice had rusted where the galvanized facing entered the masonry wall.
		The cornice had been infrequently painted, and much of the ornament was thinned, perforated or broken through dissolution and embrittlement of the zinc.

	AllRefer.com - cornice (Architecture) - Encyclopedia
		The cornice undoubtedly had its origin in the primitive eave projection: the Greek Doric and lonic cornices recall early wooden roof forms, and the Egyptian cavetto-and-fillet cornice is a derivation of the overhanging papyrus stalks that formed the eaves of primitive shelters.
		The cornice early lost its structural significance and became a stylized decorative element; in the Greek and Roman eras it assumed firmly standardized forms in the classical orders that were retained, with variations, through the Renaissance and later periods.
		As an element in the classical entablature the cornice is composed of the cymatium, or crown molding, above the corona, the projecting flat member, which casts the principal shadow; in this shadow, and supporting the corona, are a group of moldings called the bed molds, which may be elaborated with dentils.

		Typical of Bulfinch's architecture, the spring-points and keystones of the arches, as well as the string course and window lintels and sills, were of white marble in crisp contrast to the red brick walls.
		The discovery that architecture had the power to evoke distant times or places-times of immense appeal because of their mystery or self-assuredness-led to a new emotional way of making and thinking about buildings which was abetted by unparalleled technological prowess for manufacturing new building materials (terra cotta, cast iron, and plate glass, for example).
		Victorian architecture came to be regarded as excessively fussy and naive, drowned in a sea of misguided invention, perversion of materials, and cloying picturesqueness.
